Andrey's family thanks you for helping them buy a comfortable indoor chair for their boy. Andrey has merosin-negative muscular dystrophy. This disease leads to weakening of muscles and delayed motor development. Therefore, Andrey needed a functional chair that supports his back, joints and head. Correct fixation of the child's body prevents secondary complications that may arise with his disease. "With the appearance of the chair in our home, I am calm about the correct position of Andrey's body. I stopped worrying that the child might accidentally fall - and now I can do housework. And the chair is also convenient to use for us, the parents. Thanks to the fact that the chair is height-adjustable, it can be brought to any table. It has become easier for Andrey to participate in family affairs: eat with us at the same table, communicate and play," the boy's mother shares.

About the campaign

Andrei needs a comfortable and safe indoor wheelchair

This year Andrei from Minusinsk turned 7 years old - and he has turned from a little boy into a real mischievous boy: he sneaks chebureks forbidden by a gastroenterologist from the table, quarrels with his brother, hides the TV remote from his dad and chases the sharpei around the house. When mom cusses, he gets upset, but doesn't give up. Andrei has merosin-negative muscular dystrophy, a rare genetic disorder that occurs in only 1 in 100,000 newborns and causes muscles to become weak and motor development to be delayed. Knowing this, his parents sold their apartment and built a home that would be comfortable for Andrew, where he could easily ride around all the rooms in a wheelchair.

The room stroller, which Andrei received from the state, was not suitable for the boy - because of its light weight and the impossibility to fix all four wheels stationary, the risk of falling increases. We want to buy Andrei a stroller in which he will feel comfortable and safe - please help us!
